Volunteers Needed for Special Town Meeting - 1/19/22
Tellers and ballot counters are needed for the Concord Special Town
Meeting on Thursday, January 19, 2022 at 7 pm at Concord-Carlisle High School.
Tellers are responsible for counting standing votes (as opposed to
secret ballots) and collecting secret ballots. If you can walk around
and count, you have the skills necessary to be a teller. Tellers work in
pairs; training will be provided before the meeting.
Ballot counters are responsible for counting the marks in the yes and no
boxes for a secret ballot. Counters sit in chairs most of the time
during the count. The last secret ballot happened in 2013, but counters
are needed at every Town Meeting so that we are ready for another. If
there is a secret ballot, the ballot supervisors will train the counters
at that time and guide them throughout the process.
The other qualifications for either position are a willingness to commit
to remain to the end of that day's session and a commitment to fair and
transparent democracy.
If you are interested in being either a teller or ballot counter for the
Concord Special Town Meeting, or would like more information to help you
decide, please respond toTMVolunteers@porchwithhouse.com
